    The old man is literally melting my heart, such a cute nice gesture. Unfortunately an old man approaching me in my country would be the creepiest and scariest thing ever, but he seemed so nice wow, this really surprised me.

      Oh yea, in japan if an older person approaches you it’s always with out fail to be nice or compliment you. And it just really warms your heart to see it or have it happen to you

    When your husband said salt and pepper are enough, my partner and I just looked at each other and said UHHHH, NO. Herbs and spices are a must in all of my cooking.

    I love these home going into town vlogs. You are really inspiring me to ride my bike more often. Theirs a heat wave in California of 100+ so maybe when the weather cools down. Love seeing your dog too. Also I’m really considering making a Pinterest to see your pinned food recipes because everything you make looks so yummy.

    • @heratlas
      @heratlas  4 года назад

    oh the photos!!! how sweet! Seasoning - it all depends on what i'm cooking or eating. Lately w/salads - I like Himalayan Sea Salt, EVOO, and usually white wine vinegar. The cicadas have been super loud here in GA too. My son plays video games and i have to text him for him to answer any questions...ridiculous. lol Your brunch! I just made something like this not too long ago - it was random as I'd never had anything like it before - oh gosh it was soo good. Another great video!! Thanks for sharing.

  • @anahicamacho8619
    @anahicamacho8619 4 года назад +3

    Okay so I don't know how the ones you got in San Diego were prepared but HERE'S HOW TO MAKE CHILAQUILESt, from a Mexican (trust me, it's even my university's official dish):
    -You can use tortilla chips if you want but if you want the authentic thing, then use tortillas and fry them yourself in a pan.
    -For the sauce, take tomatoes, onion and chilli peppers if you want and fry them as well until they get a "roasted" look, then blend them with a bit of cilantro and to that sauce add salt to taste (my mom would also add a bouillon cube or powder)
    -For garnish we do cream and cheese (but apparently un-sweetened greek yogurt is a healthier alternative)
    Finally, you can eat them with whatever protein you want. You used scrambled eggs but you can also do black beans, grilled chicken, grilled meat, etc. They also taste delicious with avocado!!!
    I hope you do see this and it's helpful to you!

  • @sariahllamas9748
    @sariahllamas9748 4 года назад

    For the chilaquiles, you can still make them. Slice up the jalapeño and 1/4 of an onion into small pieces. Sauté them and then add one can of tomato sauce(if they have it), then add some garlic powder, salt and pepper ( to taste) and then add your tortillas chips and mix. Once they are fully coated with the sauce add 2-4 eggs and mix so they can cook. Then it should be done. An easy and quick recipe for them. :)

  • @doden88
    @doden88 4 года назад

    I don't really like onions in my food either, but I like the flavor. So we'll either use onion powder, or we'll sauté the onions until they're clear, then put them in the blender and then use them. I think it's a texture thing for me, so that way I get the flavor without even realizing they're in the food. My mom does that with onions and celery for our stuffing at Thanksgiving too. I know, I'm a child 🤷‍♀️😂😂

    Really enjoyed watching this :) the pictures from the elderly man were so sweet! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I really liked everything that you included in your vlogs. Ideas for other videos- more foodie bits, maybe like wardrobe try-ons putting different outfits together for different occasions?, more bits included about the gym or your bike rides (maybe your health/fitness journey?), I think I saw you had a tattoo on your back, a story about that possibly? 50 facts about you video would be interesting, your pottery collection would be cute to see all together. I think you're doing super well though with the content you're putting out there already :) xx
